 In addition to that, I reckon that my attendance at the Global Labor Market Conference will heavily contribute to my direct apprehension of the latest mainstream business trends, legal quirks, and ethical concerns that are directly relevant to the way we run the HR department (Anonymous, 2023). Besides, hold the workshop on E-learning system implementation and register in MISK skills development courses reflect the determination and the determination to increase compliance and skills profile in Human Resource operation processes (Anonymous, 2024).

Subsequently, taking additional courses, including workforce planning and succession planning intend to illustrate my commitment to the strategic HR management approach, and aligning it to the organizational goals (Anonymous, 2024). As I involved in the Human Resource Officer program I gained supportive skills to manage the complex landscape of legal and ethical norms which governs the human resources organization and decision making (Anonymous, 2024).

This experience is a clear demonstration that I have a change in skills and competence which I have accurately embraced within the set fields

Initial Ability Rating: 7
Competence Now: 9

Justification: In my role as a people practice professional in my organisation, I am mandated with ensuring fair recruitment with professional integrity (no identity disclosed of recruits), equality and embrace of a utilitarianism approach. Participating on the Global Labour Market Conference, I acquired relevant insights of ensuring ethical practice guide the personal and professional integrity. According to Romani et al. (2019), the best strategy would be to guarantee honest-based practice, maintain promise, professional practice and accountability while managing conflicts of interest. In my organisation for example, in year 2023 August, an issue occurred relating to corruption in security department threatening our employee relations. I was able to develop a redundancy program which guaranteed a review of employees interest while improving their wellbeing. As evidenced in Ombanda and K’Obonyo (2019), this would lead to challenges with job losses, stakeholders relations and family issues.  I was able to use skills learnt from MISK course where for the security teams, I recommended a retainer money for employees due to working for long for my organisation. This demonstrate my capacity to use personalised and professional integrity.

CIPD Professional Map identify professional courage and influencing others as a core behaviour (CIPD, 2022). From my experience as a people professional, today world has limited truth, justice lacking and distortion and weaponised information. By participating in Human Resource Officer program, I gained insights on adoption of Kolb’s experiential learning reflection model (Voo et al., 2018). Through this, I am best placed in evaluating reasons for behaving in a particular manner which guide best practice in ensuring people feel valued in an organisation. Working in my organisation, I was tasked with implementation of remote working. To achieve this, I used Kolb Experiential Learning as recommended in Otaye-Ebede et al. (2020) feelings and social-based interaction shaping the MISK course implementation.

Further, to demonstrate how I value others, I use NIE networks similar recommendation in CIPD (2022a). This is where I at all times make sure that employee voice is prioritised. The report noted for 1,500 staff, less than 22% of engagement is evident. Similarly, in my organisation, there was challenges with engagement in 2023 leading to 80% of turnover. In the MISK course, I managed to gain insights on how to enhance employees engagement.

a) Should embark on the lifelong process of reading and research that dwell in ethics, laws and openness in the human resource practices. This type of updating encompasses remaining up to date in the research area by keeping abreast of standard requirements through the help of special literature, industry magazines and laws.

b) Participate in the workshops or seminars particularly designed for it on compliance in Human Resource management practices. This will lead to the emergence of discussion sessions whose sole purpose will be to ensure that all innovations from the new knowledge are integrated into daily operations, thereby facilitating adherence to changing regulations.

c) Carry out frequent analysis and reasoning whether the business goals will not confront any obstacles because of human values. This implies cultivating a culture of compassion and making the right moral choices by placing a strong emphasis on human-oriented approaches relative to economic standards of the company.

I, therefore, bring in SMART objectives that comprise specific, measurable, alive, relevant and time bound parameters to keep and develop my knowledge and skills of ethics practice, professional courage and people value in the scope of HR.
In the end, dedication to lifelong learning and self-perfection as well as personal and business ethics, which encompass all business processes, is undoubtedly a crucial part of my personality as an HR professional.

a)     In a timeline of 5 months, review different peer reviewed journals and different publications which evaluate ethical practices, professional courage while at the same time influencing others for achieving 80% ethical practice in my organisation

b)     My intention are using my gained skills in a timeline of 2 months for appreciating need for risk management, fair-based practice while being transparent with 70% increased fairness

c)     Within 5 months, enroll to a coaching and mentoring course/program to acquire insights on management of employees and other stakeholders inappropriate feeling
